love, and it is neither the editor Of the
Tribune nor anybody eise's business
whether Frances Folsom in giving her
hand in marriage to President Cleve-
land laid also upon the altar of his af-
fection that most precious jewel-a
woman's love. The preponderance of
evidence is that she did.
It is within the Tribune's province to
criticise the President as public man,
but no paper has any right to speak dis
respectfully of Mrs. Cleveland, either
as the mistress Of the White House or
as the wife of a public man. In an
tain race, when man orwoman Of high
social position was to be put to death,
the meanest and most contemplate
creature to be found was chosen as ex-
ecutioner. Can it be possible that the
lot has fallen to the Minneapolis Trib-
une. and has it been chosen from
among the most vituperative Of the Re
publican papers to defame the good
name OF Mrs Grover Cleveland. 1t GER
tainly looks that way. We would re-
produce the abominable editorial in
question as sample Of the journalism
to be found only within the four walls
Of the unevenly balanced red brick
structure on Fourth street, but in the
language OF the divorce court reporter,
sit is unit for publication Our es-
teemed contemporary the Star-News
thus throttles the Tribune calumniator
''Y esterday the President and Mrs.
Cleveland were the honored guests of
Minneapolis. Among those prominent
in the ceremonies attending the presi-
Dental reception was the manager of
the Tribune. He in effect, il not in
words, 6attered Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
to their faces; but the moment their
backs were turned from the city he set
about concocting coarse and vulgar
insult, which is flung broadcast in
a leading editorial in this mornings
issue of the Tribune. The insult to the
President might be tolerated, for he is
man and can defend himself. But
the insult to Mrs. Cleveland as woman
is so fragrant that it would justify the
President i'll inhictjng personal chas-
tisement upon the author. We believe
there is enough chivalry in Minneap-
Oils to resent and disoWn this brutal in
suit to woman who has conducted
herself biamelessly, both in public and

has shown herself to be q lady. Amer

In returning thanks to you for my miTacu-

advisable to give you detailed account OF my
case, and as there is, and always will be a
prejudice against advertised remedies, you
have my consent to publish this testimonial,

induced to make trial Of the wonderful CUT1-
CURA REMEDIES.
At the age of three months a rash made its
appearance on my face. A physician was
called, he said teething was the cause, he pre-
spread to my ears and head. Another Nj. D..
was called. He protested to know all about
the case. called 1t "King's Evil" and pre-,
into a salve, but the disease continued. They
could not do anything with 1t. Another pre-
scribed borax. water, and flour; another. lin
seed poultices. None of them did me any good at
all, but made me worse. The disease cor tinued
unabated; it spread to my arms and legs. till
I was laid up entirely, and from continual Sit
ting on the floor on pillow my limbs con-
tractcd so that lost all control of them, and
was utterly helpless. My mother would have
to lift me out and into bed. could get around
not get my clothes on at all. and had to wear a
sort of dressing gown. Ny hair had all matted
down or fallen off. and my head, face and ears
were one seab, and I had to have a towel on
my head all the time in the summer to keep
the files off. My parents consulted a promi-
nent physician ana surgeon mere III Culcaso
(the other physicians before mentioned were of
Dundas and Hamilton, Canada), he said he
could do nothing for me, that the chances were
that would grow out of 1t, or that 1t would
strike inwardly and kill me in time; He
wanted to cut the sinews of my legs SO that
could walk, but would not let him. for II did
get better 1 would have no control of them.
The disease continued in this manner until
was seven teen years old, and on e day in jan
uary, 1879 In the Chicago Tribune 1 read an
account of your medicines They described
my case 90 exactly that I thought, as last re-
sort, to give them a trial.

High License.

The overwhelming majority given by
Rockingham county several days ago in
favor of prohibition ought to serve as q
warning to the General Assembly Of this
State against giving moments considers
ton to Mr.. Fulkerson's bill for the repeal
of the local option law. To pass that bill
would be to precipitate one of the bltterest
fights to which the annals of Virginia peli-
tics furnish a precedent; and the inevitable
result would be to force prohibition on COM
munities before the people have been pre-
pared for it. LEGAL option is infinitely the
best form of prohibition, since 1t educates
the people in temperance and is easiest of
enforcement. Where the sentiment of the
people is opposed to whisky there will pro-
hibition prevail aud the law be properly
respected, but where the aggregate vote of
the whole forces prohibition upon local
communities in which the sentiment is not
against the traffic, then will the law be
openly and shamefully violated in those
particular localities, bringing the whole
thing into disrepute. Instead Of trying to
repeal the local option law the General
Assembly had much better supplement it
by the passage ota bill providing that where
local option fails high license shall prevail.
This would have the certain effect of sweep
ing away the doggeries and diminishing the
per cent. of intemperancs, besides doubling
the revenue from the liquor licenses The
next best thing the General Assembly can
do after adjusting the bebt controversy is
to pass high license law as other States
all over the Union are doing.-Lynchburg
NeWs,
These are the views maintained by us
several years ago-prohibition, where the
people, by vote, favored it, and high license
where the majority were opposed to pro-
hibtion, for the increased revenue from
high licenses where licenses were granted,
would compensate for the loss of revenue
where they were refused, and thus make OF
ne force the argument that the adoption
of prohibition in some parts of the State
would seriously diminish the revenues OF
the State, for more revenue would be raised
from the portions in which licenses would
be granted, than are now raised from that
source in the whole State. We advocated
the policy both of local-option and high
license, and, though seemingly so, there is
no inconsistency in this, and No sacrifice of
prlnciplc on the part of temperance adve-
Gates, for as there would certainly be
licenses granted in some portions of the
State in spite of their opposition to it, there
would be no inconsistency in preferring
high to low license, and should rather favor
it, as it would rob the advocates of liceuse
Of their most effective argument against
prohibition-that of revenue.
